Riots erupted on the Greek border with Macedonia on Monday, as angry refugees broke down a razor-wire fence separating the two countries with a battering ram after the Macedonian authorities sealed the frontier to prevent them from passing.

The conflict surged as the Greek government warned that as many as 50,000 people could be trapped in the country within a month, and as aid groups cautioned that a humanitarian crisis was growing.
